Poll: What's your phobia/fear?

[The Hairminator]

Pretty simple. Tell me your phobias/great fears here, and also try to mention why you think you have developed it. Also, talk about fears and phobias in general.(Note: A phobia is a kind of fear that goes into obsession, it controls your to a certain degree etc.)

I have arachnophobia (fear of spiders), to a mild degree. I don't think about them all the time, but when I see a spider I usually get very distracted and makes sure it doesn't come closer.
I also have fear of heights. In face of huge falls I get paralized and it feels like I'm being sucked out, towards the edge. But I always survive mysteriously.

I used to be terrifyed of the dark, although I'm not any more. I'm not sure why, maybe just an overactive imagination.

Then it was just a childhood fear, I suppose. Are you comfortable in the dark now?

Fear of organ meats (what would that be in the Greek form?). I can look at and even touch organs, that's fine, like when we had to dissect an animal heart in Biology GCSE. However, when it comes to eating them, I just can't stomach it. I actually argued with my parents when I was home for summer because my dad did liver and onions and I refused to eat it. I'd been telling them both all day, even before he took anything out to defrost, that I wouldn't eat it and they were pretty pissed off. In the end they relented and I just did myself dinner and left them to their lamb's liver. Ironically I can't get enough of most meat in general, but if it's an actual organ I just feel disgusted by it.

Nothing.
Me am MAN

I used to be a bit scared of the dark though...

I am scared of spider but am alright around scorpions. So I can't technically have arachnophobia seeing as I am not scared of all arachnids.

I am fearful of large crowds of people though.

For my imagination i can never comprehend death. Its a scary thing to think of. i dont think its exactly a phobia but it rly freaks me out when i start thinkin about my life and potential death.

But i think i do have a phobia and thats Australian cops. ever since i came here up till i got pulled over with my cousin. . . cops here are so serious. . . hellooooo where is the good ol corruption and cant be arsed to work mentality???? Once on a regular check the 6 cops scared me so bad i thought ill piss my pants! And my legs where shaking 10 mins after i left.
I dont know how they train cops in Au academies but they are intimidating as hell. I pray i never get pulled over again! I mean seriously i think they would give hard time to the Pope if they stop him for a check

I'm mildly agoraphobic. Used to be much worse, but I think I've kicked most of it (living in Japan for a year helped, oddly enough).

I'm also really paranoid about people pulling me out of group to speak alone, especially women...not sure if that's a phobia, though.

 

[Booze Zombie]

Call me cliche, but spiders and heights get me.

I have great respect for you for conquering your phobia in order to post it.

 

[Sexual Harassment Panda]

I don't really have any phobia's. I would question the validity of "acrophobia" as being afraid of being up high seems like a perfectly rational fear, afterall...gravity will fuck you up given half a chance.

 

[Schmidtzkrieg]

I don't like heights especially when you can see through the floor. To a lesser extent horses freak me out

I had a feeling this one would pop up.

Cockroaches. They're everywhere.

Are you afraid that the horses will attack you? Or you just prefer not to go behind them because they might freak out and kick you in the face? In that case it's very reasonable.

Stupid creatures.

I think that whoever named it that was hilariously mean.

OT: Mine's not necessarily heights; it's falling down them.

Try imagining pre-life.

Either you had the balls to type that or you don't have a fear of long words. I have Keindranophobia. My hatred for people and crowded areas has grown into a form of agoraphobia.

 

[The_ModeRazor]

I hate spiders, but I overcome this fear by scaring them.
That's how evil people are born.

So yeah, not really a phobia.
And I used to fear dark, but I realised that it fears me just as much.
